| <h1>File menu</h1> |
| <p>The <b>File</b> menu enables you to create, save, close, print, import, and export Workbench resources and to exit |
| the Workbench.</p> |
| <dl> |
| <dt><b>New</b> (Shift+Alt+N)</dt> |
| <dd>Enables you to create new resources. Before you can create a new file, you must create a project in which to |
| store the file.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Open File</b></dt> |
| <dd>Enables you to open a file for editing - including files that do not reside in the Workspace.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Close</b> (Ctrl+W)</dt> |
| <dd>Closes the active editor. You are prompted to save changes before the file closes.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Close All</b> (Shift+Ctrl+W)</dt> |
| <dd>Closes all open editors. You are prompted to save changes before the files close.</dd> |
| <dt><img src="../images/save_edit.svg" alt="Save edit image"> <b>Save</b> (Ctrl+S)</dt> |
| <dd>Saves the contents of the active editor.</dd> |
| <dt><img src="../images/saveas_edit.svg" alt="Save as image"> <b>Save As</b></dt> |
| <dd>Enables you to save the contents of the active editor under another file name or location.</dd> |
| <dt><img src="../images/saveall_edit.svg" alt="Save all image"> <b>Save All</b> (Shift+Ctrl+S)</dt> |
| <dd>Saves the contents of all open editors.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Revert</b></dt> |
| <dd>Replaces the contents of the active editor with the previously saved contents.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Move</b></dt> |
| <dd>Enables you to move the currently selected resources to a different project or to create a Java package with |
| those resources.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Rename</b> (F2)</dt> |
| <dd>Enables you to change the name of the currently selected resource.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Refresh</b> (F5)</dt> |
| <dd>Refreshes the resource with the contents in the file system.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Convert Line Delimiters To</b></dt> |
| <dd>Alters the line delimiters for the selected files. Changes are immediate and persist until you change the |
| delimiter again - you do not need to save the file.</dd> |
| <dt><img src="../images/print_edit.svg" alt="Print editor image"> <b>Print</b> (Ctrl+P)</dt> |
| <dd>Prints the contents of the active editor.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Switch Workspace</b></dt> |

| <dt><b>Properties</b> (Alt+Enter)</dt> |
| <dd> |
| Opens the <b>Properties</b> dialog for the currently selected resource. You can learn: |
| <ul> |
| <li>The path to the resource in your file system</li> |
| <li>The date of the last modification</li> |
| <li>Whether a file is writable or executable, and what its encoding is</li> |
| <li>Whether a project's resources inherit their encoding and line delimiters or whether they are set to a |
| particular value.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><b>Recent file list</b></dt> |
| <dd>Contains a list of the most recently accessed files in the Workbench. You can open any of these files from the |
| <b>File</b> menu by simply clicking the file name. You can control the number of files in this list from the |
| <a href="ref-12.htm">Editors preference page</a>.</dd> |
| <dt><b>Exit</b></dt> |
